Geez, it's nice to feel happy!
Woke up late and went to Water Street Cafe for lunch. Yummy curried carrot soup - so fresh! and a spinach salad. Ate out on the deck by the river with an umbrella for shade. Wind kicked up and we had coffee and treats inside. Lovely, leisurely time.
Home to do a quick change and leave for Sebastopol, where we saw a documentary on a Polish woman who hid 15 Jews in her home right under the noses of the Nazis and neighbors who might have turned her in for the rewards. A courageous yet unassuming person. She just did it.
After the movie, party at Sebastopol Center for the Arts. Good music, too.
A delicious day. And I can do the garden tomorrow!

Rats!
I think this is working out to be the year of the rat here - although it will actually be the year of the Tiger, come Chinese New Year's Day.
We heard noise in the walls and attic. We put a Rat Zapper and baited it with dog treats in the attic. It kills rats with an electric shock using D-cells. It works!
(We had hunted for a humane way to deal with them, but the Zapper seems to be the closest we could get. We investigated using a Havahart/? trap, but we would have to let them go somewhere, and NO ONE wants rats. They are almost as popular as the plague...probably because they carry diseases like bubonic plague.)
January 1 - Rat #1
January 2 - Rat #2
January 3 - Rat #3
Now I'm beginning to wonder if we need to buy a bigger aluminum ladder. Paul has been bringing up one of his old heavy wooden ladders that he used to use for painting. Our ceilings are so high that the 6 foot aluminum ones are too short.
